But Song Rui and Zhou Manli kept feeling that Uncle Zhang’s attitude was a little strange.
It was as though Song Yaoyao was a part of the Huo Family and they were guests.
The Huos had always kept a low profile, but no one dared to mess with them.
No matter how angry Song Rui was, he did not dare to express it in front of Uncle Zhang, even though he was just a butler.
“No, you’re being too polite. We didn’t arrive long. It appears as though Mr. Huo is home? That’s great, we brought some gifts, and we want to personally thank him for taking care of our Yaoyao.”
“Oh? I see…”
Uncle Zhang was surprised. “But the Master doesn’t see guests often. Go in and sit first. I’ll notify him, okay?”
Song Rui nodded his head frantically. “Of course!”
Zhou Manli felt a little awkward. As she watched Uncle Zhang lead them into the house, she couldn’t help but pout her lips and whisper, “Isn’t he just a servant? Why is he acting so arrogant?”
It was almost like he was at a higher status than them!
“What do you know?”
Song Rui was extremely regretful for bringing Zhou Manli along. If he knew this would happen, he would have come alone.
This stupid woman only knew how to create trouble.
The domestic helpers of a prestigious family were artful at dealing with people. Apparently, this butler had been working for the Huos for several decades and held immense power. And Song Rui had seen clearly that Uncle Zhang treated Song Yaoyao more affectionately than Huo Ningxi.
He even heard that Mr. Huo asked about Song Yaoyao when he didn’t see her home yet.
“Either way, you better behave. Don’t say anything that you shouldn’t! This isn’t a place where you can cause trouble. If you offend someone, our family does not have the ability to go up against them. Think about how good your life is, think about Jingwan, and make your own decision!”
At the mention of Song Jingwan, Zhou Manli’s expression immediately warmed up.
She lowered her voice and said impatiently, “I know what to do. I don’t need you to remind me.”
After all, she would never do anything to hurt her Wanwan.
“Gege…!”
As soon as Song Yaoyao entered, she saw Huo Yunque walking downstairs wearing a coat. She immediately pounced toward him like a cannonball,
“Yaoyao…!” Song Rui’s eyelids twitched. Before he even saw Huo Yunque’s face, the scene was a blur as Song Yaoyao rushed over and pounced into the man’s arms.
“Gege, I missed you~”
The girl had her arms around the man’s waist as she buried herself in his chest coquettishly.
The man caught her and held onto her shoulder. Without rejecting her, he lifted his gaze and stared calmly at the people in the living room.
“This is…?”
Uncle Zhang immediately introduced with a smile, “Sir, these two are Miss Song’s parents. They are here to take Miss Song home.”
“Mr. Huo?” Zhou Manli didn’t know how to react as she scanned her eyes up and down the man with her mouth gaping in surprise.
As the mysterious master of the Huo Family, wasn’t he too young?
Moreover, he was ridiculously good-looking…
“Small Uncle, I’m back.”
However, Zhou Manli’s doubts were quickly cleared as Huo Ningxi answered her question. By calling him Small Uncle, the man’s identity was confirmed.
Zhou Manli was caught by surprise. In her mind, she imagined him to be a mature middle-aged man in his thirties who wasn’t much different from Song Rui.
So knowing that Song Yaoyao liked Huo Ningxi’s Small Uncle, she felt half disgusted and half complicated.
She was well aware of how she treated Song Yaoyao. If she actually gained power and came back for revenge in the future, what would she do?
